OpenClaw Memory System
让 OpenClaw 跨会话真的记住你的偏好、事实和上下文。
一句话卖点
不是再重复背景、重复偏好、重复项目上下文，而是直接给你的 agent 装上一套可持久化、可搜索、可自动取回的长期记忆系统。
What is it?
这是一个已经做好的长期记忆 skill：
- 记住用户偏好
- 记住项目背景
- 记住反复提过的事实
- 下次会话可直接搜索和取回
你装上的不是“怎么做记忆系统的教程”，而是一套可运行的记忆能力。
为什么值得装
很多人真正烦的不是 agent 不够聪明，而是：
- 每次开新会话都像失忆
- 一遍遍重复偏好和背景
- 项目上下文丢了还要重新讲
- 明明说过的话，下次又得重来
这个 skill 解决的是：
> 把“记忆”从手工补上下文，变成 agent 自己能持续用的底层能力。
Key Features
- 🧠 Persistent Memory - Remembers everything across sessions
- 🔍 Semantic Search - Find memories by meaning, not just keywords
- 🤖 Automatic Learning - Extracts facts and preferences automatically
- 💾 Local Storage - SQLite database with vector embeddings
- 💰 x402 Payments - Agents can pay for unlimited storage (0.5 USDT/month)
Free vs Pro Tier
Free Tier:
- 100 memories maximum
- 7-day retention
- Basic semantic search
Pro Tier (0.5 USDT/month):
- Unlimited memories
- Permanent retention
- Advanced semantic search
- Memory relationship mapping
Installation
claw skill install openclaw-memory
Commands
# Search memories
claw memory search "What does user prefer?"
# List recent memories
claw memory list --limit=10
# Show stats
claw memory stats
# Open dashboard
claw memory dashboard
# Subscribe to Pro
claw memory subscribe
How It Works
- Hooks into requests - Automatically extracts important information
- Generates embeddings - Creates semantic vectors for search
- Stores locally - SQLite database with full privacy
- Retrieves on demand - Injects relevant memories before requests
- Manages quota - Prunes old memories when limits reached (Free tier)
Use Cases
- Remember user preferences and coding style
- Store project context and requirements
- Learn patterns from repeated interactions
- Maintain conversation history across sessions
- Build knowledge base over time
Agent Economy
Agents can autonomously evaluate if Pro tier is worth it:
- Cost: 0.5 USDT/month
- Value: Saves tokens by eliminating context repetition
- ROI: If persistent memory saves >0.5 USDT/month in tokens, it pays for itself
See AGENT-PAYMENTS.md for x402 integration details.
Privacy
- All data stored locally in
~/.openclaw/openclaw-memory/
- No external servers or telemetry
- Embeddings can use local models (no API calls)
- Open source - audit the code yourself
Dashboard
